By default, once a user chooses an item in selector on a filter
panel, the target immediately and automatically updates without any
additional user interaction. If a user selects multiple items, the target
is automatically updated after each individual selection, which can take
some time. Instead, you can disable automatic application of selector
changes, allowing a user to select items in the selector, then choose
when to apply the selections to the target. If changes are not made automatically,
the Apply Now icon is displayed on the filter panel
but is disabled; when a change is made to a selector on the filter panel,
the Apply Now icon is enabled.
Filter panels are fully interactive in Flash Mode. In other modes, filter panels work as panel stacks with selectors; the drop-down menu to interact with the filter panel is not available. (The menu allows users to expand and collapse selectors, for example. For a complete list of actions, see Filtering a dashboard: Filter panels.)
The Automatically apply selector changes property for a filter panel applies in Flash Mode. The Automatically apply selector changes property at the document level applies to selectors in a filter panel displayed in other modes. (For a description of the document level property, see Controlling how data updates: Autosubmit.)
The following procedure assumes that the document contains a filter panel with selectors. For instructions to add a filter panel, see Inserting a filter panel into a dashboard.
